Abstract
The present status of the ITER project is summarised in terms of progress m ade on its scientific, engineering and safety/environmental characteristics and of its position in world-wide fusion development. The selection of mat erials and joining technologies for ITER is discussed, with emphasis on mat erials choices and test results for in-vessel components. Progress of major R&D projects to validate the technologies is presented. The future prospec ts for ITER are considered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser ved.
